Why are you considering an upgrade? Is this build not performing well enough for something?

I would say no. It's a lot of hassle to swap out the mobo and CPU, and you'll still have to pay a good chunk. Moreover, ECS boards are notoriously unreliable--not to mention the DS3 overclocks extremely well, which, though you have chosen not to take advantage thereof as yet, that may change in the future.

Yeah, just keep what you have.

seems like you have a pretty good build that should have no problem with any current games or progams so i would keep it. you dont want to update when you dont need it only to find out you cant when you do
